Thu May 14, 2020, 10:46 AM
May 2020

We're supposed to be fretting about his irreverence toward a former president and his "melting down" while he continues to murder US citizens with his criminal negligence. The nation gave Trump the power, and he's using it to his own ends. He doesn't care what he destroys or who he destroys. Further, he knows that more killing means less "mitigation." He hates mitigation. It would mean that he's showing a soft spot that would be mocked by his neo-Nazis, who are just as obsessed with death and "punching down" as he is.

Lock him up.

You and other posters are right.

Trump put Graham on the hot seat for nothing but to engage in tabloid nonsense and a shit show. Graham will have to use his skills to wiggle out of actually sending Obama a subpeona. No one but Trump is interested, and quite likely Trump himself may not be interested. This is only a three card Monty display. Trump gets to play Tweet Master, the press gets to gaggle, and this whole scene will be forgotten when legs get tired and there's no more juice left.

Thu May 14, 2020, 11:47 AM
May 2020

Trump has read only one sentence in the US Constitution, “The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

He stopped reading after that and decided, with Bill Barr’s encouragement, that he is allowed to do,anything. Never mind the rest of the Constitution and the checks and balances on the power of a president. It would be interesting to have Democrats question Obama about the many ways Trump has violated the Constitution.

Only they are allowed to investigate whomever they wish and apply laws however they wish - no rules of law need to be followed, justice should only be decided by them - they are the judge, jury, prosecutor - what they say that the person did goes, even if it is a lie/fake.

It's pointless to ask what he wants to "achieve" or whether the thinks bringing in a past president would "help" him.

Trump has finally reached the point many of us feared: since he can't get his way, he will turn this nation's government and economy into rubble and attempt to kill millions. If he manages to start a civil war as well, why not? No other nation has had to fire a shot.
